Hello
Just curious about something. When setting up a FreeNAS server, you generally need a bit of CPU to support Plex transcoding.
What are the benefits of this? Why don't people just serve their media files over the network and have clients like Kodi play them directly? It would save some money.
This is assuming you have a client capable of running Kodi of course, which most of us do (Raspbery Pi for example)
Thanks
